The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity episode 4 recap
The episode begins with Rintaro waking up too early on the day when he is supposed to meet Kaoruko for the study session. After meeting her at the rendezvous point, the duo heads to a cafe. While solving a few problems, Kaoruko asks Rintaro why he doesn't want to fail his upcoming tests.
Rintaro reveals that it's because he doesn't want to fail in his exams. While he thinks it's a lame reason, Kaoruko doesn't think so. Rather, she feels it's an amazing motivation to have. Afterward, Kaoruko thanks Rintaro for not judging Subaru based on her actions. She mentions that Subaru is actually a good person, though she has some problems opening up to boys.
Kaoruko then gives Rintaro a study planner and wishes him luck so he can enjoy the sports festival. After Kaoruko leaves, Rintaro plans to head home. At this moment, Subaru confronts him and asks if they can talk. Following this, the episode shows a conversation between Subaru and Rintaro at the cafe.
Subaru directly asks Rintaro whether he is Kaoruko's boyfriend. After confirming that he isn't, she requests that he not see her anymore. She clarifies that it's not because of him as a person, but more so due to him being a student from Chidori High.
Apparently, the teachers at Kikyo Private Academy loathe the Chidori more than its students. Therefore, if the word gets out that a scholarship student from Kikyo is friends with a Chidori High boy, it can affect Kaoruko's scholarship. At this moment, a kid at the cafe compliments Subaru's hair, which reminds her of her past.
According to the episode, Subaru used to be bullied by boys when she was a child. It was Kaoruko who stood up for her, and since then, they have been together. Subaru also calls Kaoruko her hero. She knows better than anyone how much Kaoruko struggled to achieve her scholarship to get into Kikyo.
That's why she doesn't want her friend to lose everything. Following this, Subaru urges Rintaro once again to stop getting involved with Kaoruko. However, Rintaro politely declines. Subaru tries hard to contain her tears, as she knows that Rintaro would say something like that.
While returning home, Rintaro keeps ruminating about Subaru's words from before. He wonders if he truly cares for someone, like Subaru does for her friend, Kaoruko. At this moment, two middle school girls approach Rintaro to say thanks for helping them earlier.
Rintaro's response melts their heart, and they realize that he isn't as scary as he looks. While walking to his house, Rintaro wonders if his presence will truly ruin Kaoruko's efforts. Nevertheless, a few days pass, and the day of the result arrives. Rintaro and Shohei pass their exams, with the former getting decent marks.
He wonders if he should text Kaoruko about it, but then he suddenly remembers Subaru's words and stops. Meanwhile, during a celebration, Saku accidentally knocks over Rintaro's desk, revealing the study planner that Kaoruko gave him, including the good luck note. The episode ends with Rintaro's friends demanding to know the truth about Rintaro's relationship with Kaoruko.
What to expect in The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity episode 5? (speculative)
The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity episode 5 will continue the adaptation from chapter 8 of Saka Mikami's manga and show Rintaro's friends asking him about the note from Kaoruko.
It remains to be seen how Rintaro reacts to them. Additionally, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity episode 5 will likely show whether or not Rintaro informs Kaoruko about his result.
